Personally, I'd take the Keldorn over any character in the game. He has sucky dex and str scores to start out, but once you give him some *minor* equipment, he'll turn into a big powerhouse because he's the only character that can use a certain VERY POWERFUL 2 handed sword later on in the game.

Aside from the fact that Keldorn gets that item, he also has great mage-battling skills, dispel magic and true sight are godsends once you learn how to use them correctly. I wouldn't rely too much on Yoshimo because he will have to leave your party later in chapter 5.

keep in mind that spellcasters start out weaker than fighters, but if you continue on in the game (especially in ToB) they get very strong, very fast. They're disputedly the most powerful class available once you hit the higher levels of 20-30 in ToB.

Right now, I'd suggest giving the money to aid Imoen. This will lead you to the next chapter, but it will also give you easier mini-quests to build experience before you attempt the harder quests. An alternative would be taking Nalia's quest. Nalia herself doesnt have to be in your party for you to do the quest, just talk to her and say you'll accept it and she'll draw on your world map. This quest is low-mid level and you should be able to handle it with little to no trouble. Windspear hills, Umar hills, and Unseeing eye are all tough quests, better saved for level 12-13 characters.

BTW: the shaman's staff is part of the quest in the sewers under the copper coronet; talk to the old man standing next to the neutral carrion crawler and you should learn what's happening, if not; search "lilacor" and you should be able to find some answers.
